    You know, I see breasts as sexual, and I think all women are attracted to me. If a woman goes around topless, then I think she is flashing me for her own gratification and should be put on a sex offenders list :rolleyes:

    just when i thought the posts on this thread could not get any more stupid you pull it out of the bag.

    You should say why it's stupid.

    you dont need me to tell you that.

    Has anyone answered this yet, if a woman who is turned on by biceps touches a man's bicep, is that sexual assault?

    what jurisdiction?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,063 ✭✭✭riemann


    Funny little nuance on this one.

    Gloria Allred is the reporters laywer. She made her name suing men for sexual harassment.

    Very nice of her to take time out of her busy schedule (she also works for Harvey Weinstein)

    What is interesting is Lisa Bloom is her daughter, and is known to be one of Harvey Weinstein's legal team.

    Of course its all all about the fenimism and justice, not the benjamins.

    Well, to clarify, should it be sexual assault and why.

    the laws on what constitures sexual assault varies from country to country and from state to state in the US. be specific.

    Riddle me this, if a man runs past an unsuspecting woman and slaps her arse as he passes her.

    Is this a bit of banter or an assault of sort?

    There would be no opportunity for the benjamins if he didn't slap her on the hole, on camera, though - would there?

    I don't know if you are asking me a question, or putting question marks at the end of sentences out of habit.

    To be clear I am not asking you a question, nor do I wish to engage with you further.

    Stop harassing me.

    Yes, to the first, no to the second, but that's ingrained sexism.

    You're asking a legal question. The answer will refer to the law of the land.

    I doubt it would be automatically classed sexual assault like touching genitals. But if it was demonstrable that she's doing it without the bloke's consent/against his will, and she's doing it for sexual gratification, then it probably could be classed as sexual assault.

    Similarly if a bloke was touching a woman’s feet or hands without her consent/against her will, and it was demonstrably for sexual gratification, then I’d imagine that could be classed as sexual assault.

    I hope she had a nice ass at least.

    Presumably that should be against his will. Is it really so habitual to you to gender victims of sexual assault as female that you can't even get the pronouns straight when talking about a man?

    What if he/she is gender fluid?

    Same answer to both as far as I'm concerned. Assault in both cases. A very stupid, probably low level assault.

    Did he slap her hole?

    It was a Typo. Good spot. I'll edit it.

    Except if it were a bloke it wouldn't see the light of day unless he was a particularly fragile snowflake.

    Runner was a dope.

    Reporter is a total drama queen.

    They both deserve a kick in the hole.

    Agreed, he was wrong but she is an awful gowl trying to stir it up. I lost my power she says. F*ck off

    OK maybe that's what you'd think of him. But that's probably one of the reasons some crimes against men, by women, aren't considered as serious as the same crime against women by men. Violence and sexual assault are 2 that come to mind. And it's attitudes pile the one you expressed that ensure the crimes against men aren't taken as seriously.

    I'm not too sure myself tbh, maybe it was rhetorical? who knows?



    Joys of posting on a forum thread btw, anyone can read and reply, does not a harassment make.

    Suppose that's how it's viewed - but the realities are the below:

    The sexual aspect of it is what it is, its unwanted contact....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,732 ✭✭✭scamalert


    any man that hasnt slapped an ass in their life aint a man :pac:


    cant imagine this ****e still going on, id be serving dozen lifetimes if it was a crime, once gave a good slap to total stranger, well though she was someone i knew, good laugh - all it was as a result.


    And to think its only been 10 years back that society today is totally $hit with all the crap some come up, makes you wonder what sort of bat $hit crazy people sit behind the screen nowadays, to discuss f all event over and over, but imagine fems have tons of time for that $hite same like anti waxers and other lunatics.

    Maybe in your snowflake world but I've brushed off much worse without any mental scars as have the vast majority off men on here. Its really only a problem if you choose to make it one or if it persists once you've let it be known that you're not playing along.

    I strongly suggest you that leave your house and learn some people skills because your intelligence matches that of a socially inept misfit. There is a major difference between a woman touching a bicep and someone assaulting someone in the buttocks. Your inability to know the difference possibly reveals where your moral compass lies on this subject also.


    Why? The buttocks is mostly muscle like the biceps and actually has no relevance to procreation.

    The thread should have ended at Jayseus’ post tbh.

    Yet here we are fifty odd pages in with circular argument.

    It amazes me that in the space of about four generations, we've gone from people being able to survive concentration camps to a woman bleating about how someone took away her power by slapping her ass.

    It really makes you wonder how they'd cope if anything genuinely bad happened to them.

    I was thinking the same. There's alot of warning signs that we may be heading to a bleak future with superpowers struggling for supremacy and the effects climate change will bring. These people will curl up in a ball and die at the first sign of adversity
